However as we try to share Jesus' Good News, we either trying to be caught in emotional defensive and/or offensive conversation rather than victorious salvation of souls. We all fall in this invincible trap that almost unrecognizable and later becomes our habit already. A habit of defensive and offensive preaching of the Gospel is not the main characteristics of it.

Everyone enjoys the atmosphere of Spiritual Breakthrough as a product of this blossoming creation of God, the opening of our church here in Pointcook. We, our church, are a work in progress. We are not made of any non-living raw materials. We are God’s most loved living creations who have body, soul, and spirit. We are rational, social, and spiritual being. But like any full grown branches, we are starting from being a bud. Our main goal is to grow, glow, and go. Jesus reminded us in John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches.
